Description:

Ortronics CAT5E/6/6A modular female jacks for use in corresponding Ortronics housings of same product series (Faceplates, Surface Mount Boxes, Modular Patch Panels). Each of these product series has a different mounting style and overall footprint so that a modular jack of one series will not mount in a housing from another series.

Application:

Modular connectors for Category 5E/6/6A UTP structured cabling systems. Uses include high megabit applications such as Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (CAT6A). All meet or exceed all requirements for respective Category ratings as described in ANSI/TIA-568-C.2

Installation Considerations:

All three series are proprietary and require matching plates, boxes, and patch panels from same series.

High Density series requires an Ortronics butterfly tool (OR-HDJPCT) that is included in every box of 20 jacks or a heavy duty Ortronics crimp tool (part #OR-HDJHCT).

TracJack and Series II jacks are front-loaded into plates – keep this in mind if you intend to terminate the cable first and install the plate afterwards. The cable should be pulled through the plate before installing jack.

Series II jacks are available in a dual module with two RJ45 ports on the front and a pair of punch down blocks on the rear.

The HD Series jacks are compact enough to allow 48 jacks to fit into a 1U modular patch panel, hence the HD name (High Density).

Related industry Terms/Acronyms:

Clarity – Ortronics’ name applied to their high-end connectivity lines with elevated channel performance. TracJack, Series II and High Density are all part of the Clarity line. The TechChoice product series provides an option for networks requiring quality components with limited budgets.

Component Rated - rated for interoperability with other manufacturer’s products within a channel while maintaining category rating.

Pair geometry - refers to the configuration of conductors within a twisted pair cable (the mated pairs and the number of twists per inch that unite those conductors).

UTP - Unshielded Twisted Pair cable

T568A and T568B wiring schemes - standardized wiring configurations used in the termination of copper Ethernet cables and ports. T568B is currently the most widely used termination in the United States

PoE - Power over Ethernet refers to the use of an Ethernet cable to transmit electrical power to a remote device that does not have access to an AC power outlet.

NEXT - Near-End Crosstalk is the unintentional transfer of signals between 2 conductors within a network cable. It is often caused by untwisting of pairs or by conductors being crushed during termination.

AXT - Alien Crosstalk is the unintentional transfer of signals between 2 cables within a bundle.
